IORT supports platform devices (aka named components) as well, and
there is some support for platform MSIs in the GIC layer.

So it may be possible to hide your exotic bus from the OS entirely,
and make the firmware instantiate a DSDT with device objects and
associated IORT nodes that describe whatever lives on that bus as
named components.

That way, you will not have to change the OS at all, so your hardware
will not only be supported in linux v5.7+, it will also be supported
by OSes that commercial distro vendors are shipping today. *That* is
the whole point of using ACPI.

If you are going to bother and modify the OS, you lose this advantage,
and ACPI gives you no benefit over DT at all.

I am replying to old message in this conversation, because the
discussion got sidetracked from IORT
table to SFP/QSFP/devlink stuff from this point onwards, which is not
related to IORT.
I will only focus on representing the MC device in IORT and using the
same in linux.
As Ard said:
"IORT supports platform devices (aka named components) as well, and
there is some support for platform MSIs in the GIC layer."

We can represent MC bus as named component in IORT table and use platform MSIs.
The only caveat is that with current implementation of platform MSIs,
the Input id of a device is not considered.
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3-its-platform-msi.c#L50
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/acpi/arm64/iort.c#L464

I don't understand what you mean. Platform MSI using IORT uses the DevID
of end-points. How could the ITS could work without specifying a DevID?
See for example how the SMMUv3 driver uses platform MSI.

While, IORT spec doesn't specify any such limitation.

we can easily update iort.c to remove this limitation.
But, I am not sure how the input id would be passed from platform MSI
GIC layer to IORT.
Most obviously, the input id should be supplied by dev itself.

Why should the device know about its own ID? That's a bus/interconnect
thing. And nothing should be passed *to* IORT. IORT is the source.

Any thoughts?

I think that in this thread, we have been fairly explicit about what our
train of though was.
